What’s Hot In The Saturdays’ World!!!!

Mollie: Where do I start…

Well, firstly and foremost I have to say EDAMANE!!! Jeepers creepers these girls are obsessed!! And when I say obsessed, I mean obsessed!!! unfortunately for me, I am the only one who just really doesn’t get what the enjoyment is of sucking tiny beans out of a tube!! I didn’t even know what edamane was before we came on tour, but it feels like everywhere I look there’s an edamane bean tube!!! Believe it or not, Una and I even had to pay to get a taxi all the way to Wagamamas, pick up some edamane and bring it back to the hotel!!…Don’t worry I didn’t leave empty handed, I picked up a Yaki Soba (my fave) and we all snuggled up together eating in the hotel room!!

Next… Right the other day, I seriously felt like I was back in school!! I was sharing a room with Rochelle and I heard THE biggest gasp EVER, when I told her I didn’t moisturise my body everyday!!! Oh deary me!!…Not a good move!!! Next thing I know, Roch had laid out ALL her products (in order for me to use them) and said I was not to leave the bathroom until I had used each of them!!! Hehehe, you gotta love her!!! Man almighty, I was cleansing, toning, moisturing…you name it, I was onto it!!! BUT, the girl speaks sense (believe it or not, hehehe), when I used her Body Shop Coconut Body Butter, I actually fell in love!!!! It smelt soooooo good, and i felt sooo good after having putting it on!!! I later realised that ALL the girls loved it, and maybe it was me who was the weirdo after all!!!! Good work Rochy, you have taught me well!! 😉

On tour, we have sooo much travelling to do, which I absolutely LOVE, but it means that we are always quickly stopping in service stations to grab food on the run!!! We’ve been trying hard not to eat toooo much rubbish, so when we see one where there’s a Marks And Spencer’s it REALLY is like Christmas has come early!!!! Poor Tommy (our tour manager), he’ll be happily driving down the motorway, when all of a sudden he hears 5 girls calling out “M&S!!!!!”

Now… you’ve heard the phrase “caught red-handed”!!! What about brown-handed!?!?!…Well you will have done if you come into our dressing room!!! Each night before the show Una and I rub on the shimmer for our legs to give them a glossy look!!! I have to admit though, Una knows when to stop, me on the other hand, sometimes I am certain I can’t see any difference and then all of a sudden Frankie comes in the room and she’s like “Moll i really think you should stop!!!!!” Oooooops!!!! That’s what friends are for!! 😉 …And hey while I ‘m talking about getting ready for each show, every night Frankie has been doing my hair, so a BIG thank you to her!!! Love ya!

Finally… we all know Miss White likes to sing, hey!!! Well, she bought the Mariah Carey album, and when I say we haven’t heard the end of it, i mean LITERALLY!! We have heard that album over and over AND over again!!!… But, the funny thing is that I think we all know the words, and it’s not even from having heard the songs…it’s from Nessa singing them out when she’s got her ipod on!!! Yes, so we have like 5 hour long car journeys, listening to the live a capella version of Mariah’s album!!!!…Oh Ness I do love you, even if you are belting over my ipod!!!! Hehehe!!!! Everyone after 3…”touch my body, la la la…”

What a great life this is so far…..…!! We are so lucky!!!! xxxxx

Una here in Birmingham!

Hey everyone! Today we are on a day off here in Birmingham. But as we all have internet access free in our hotel rooms we have spent most of our time tapping away and responding e-mails and doing a lot of catching up with everything! BUT as per usual we managed to find our way to the “Bullring” which has a huge shopping centre. I had to buy a new pair of “dancing” shoes as I was finding the ones I perform in a little restricting because they were too high:( so I had to compromise fashion for comfort! I got a new pair that I could run a sprint in! haha! They are not bad either, I think I can pull them off?!! they are a safe black pair with a little strap and a medium heel. As you all know I am Irish, just got off the phone there to one of my friends, feel a little homesick now:( I haven’t been home to Ireland in 3 months! But I am so busy and time is flying by so sometimes I tend for forget how long it has been! Ok gotta go and have some room service dinner! (yum..not!!)

Frankie Blogs – “Ciao Bella!”

Ciao Bella!

It’s Frankie again. Me, Una and Roch decided to go check out the pool this morning, do a few lengths to work off the tour belly. Unfortunately we only managed about 5 lengths! Ha. And to be honest after watching Roch’s warped version of synchronized swimming for 10 minutes id had enough! Lol. So we took the easy way out and chilled in the Jacuzzi- My idea of keeping fit!

Obviously all that hard work worked up an appetite so we popped out to grab a sandwich. It was so cold we had to do the typical English thing and sit in the car! Ha. you’d think we had enough of being cooped up in there, but it’s kind of become like our little home! Hahaha man we are cool!!

Now I don’t know about you guys, but computers and me don’t have a great

relationship! Lol I go on the Internet download my photos and that’s about it, but no no no…there’s a whole load of things you can do! One of Girls Aloud’s dancers was really sweet and totally updated my whole laptop!

Something I haven’t done since I got it a year ago, apparently it’s really important. I am such a girl! So I am currently writing from my new and improved super supped up MacBook! Haha Go me! Clearly this excites me as I felt the need to let you all know!

Anyways, back to the important stuff.

The performance in Sheffield tonight went really well. The crowd were awesome!

I tried out a different pair of shoes for this one and felt like I was wobbling all over the place! So back to the good old faithfuls with innersoles and heel grips! Pretty sure I’ve given you all a really hot image now. Me dancing around in granny shoes! Lol. Billiam stood at the side tonight to watch which was really sweet. The support acts are becoming a right little team.

I’m really starting to feel comfy on tour now. I never want it to end!

Everyone backstage has become like a Girls Aloud extended family. We get on really well with the dancers and especially the band they are always up for a laugh. And when they get the chance they come and watch us perform! The crew are always about making us laugh and do a great job at keeping us in check on stage. Don’t even get me started on catering! I’m pretty sure we’ve all put on a few pounds since being away. The food is so yummy! We are always first in the canteen and the last to leave. Not too sure if I should admit that! Haha. Oh well!

By the way if your one of the girls that stood up and danced the whole way through our show tonight, thank you. Hope you enjoyed yourself! You guys are awesome!

We left straight after the show to get to Birmingham and have just arrived at a lovely hotel. I managed to bag the single room, which is even better.

Whoop whoop!

Right I’ve got to go. Mollie and Una just came in with some noodles and edamame for me!!! Yuuuuumy! Fingers crossed there’s no maggots in these ones!

Speak soon

Heya!!!

(Ok I’m just doing that to wind the girls up cos they think I ALWAYS say that, hehehe!!)

How’ve you been?! Busy? We have been crazy busy!!!….

Monday called for a day off at home at last!! It was so nice to see my family and just hang out in my PJs all day, until, suddenly we got a call from our management telling us to come into the office to watch our video for “If This Is Love” for the first time EVER!!! Ahhh we were so nervous and so excited!! We all shot up there as fast as we could and all I can say is….. OH. MY. GOD. IT. IS. AMAZING!!!! We were so SO happy, Ness and I even started crying!!!! We all ran out of the office after and had a group hug (yes, my idea, you know I like to cheese things up, haha!). I wanted to run out onto the street and shout “HEY EVERYONE OUR MUSIC VIDEO ROCKS!!!”.

(Don’t worry, I did manage to resist!!… Kind of!) But I really hope you like it as much as we do!! And hey, while I’m talking about the vid, I just wanted to say thank you SO much to everyone who helped us with it – Harvey (the genius director), everyone at the label, hair, make-up, stylist, Kate our choreographer, and our management!!! Ok ok, now I just sound like I’m collecting an award, I’ll stop!! (And before you ask, yes, that speech has been written and rehearsed already!)

This morning we set off to Nottingham for more fun and games!! The arena was pretty freezing because it’s normally used an an ice rink!! My shorts were NOT a good idea, ahh, but we got a BRILLIANT response from the crowd, so thank you so much if you were there!!!!! We got straight back on the road after the show and headed off to Sheffield, where I am now, sitting in the hotel!! I’m sharing a room with Rochelle and we’re just testing out some new face masks I bought!!! Better run now though, it’s time to wash them off or we’ll be going out with green faces!!!!

Please keep all your comments and questions coming into the forum and our myspaces!!! It’s so lovely to hear from you!!

Kisses,

Mollie

Hey everyone, hope everyone’s good!!

I’ve just had the most amazing weekend. We did 2 nights at 02 in London!

I can honestly say I’ve never performed in front of so many people in my life or seen that many for that matter, it was unreal! It only really hit me in the middle of performing ‘ISSUES’ coz that’s the only track where we literally just sing. I just saw thousands and thousands of lights! I had to pinch myself! Definitely had a Vanessa moment then! We all came off stage buzzing! I then decided to watch GA for like the 3rd time now lol (can’t get enough) They just amaze me.

After all that fun and games we went to a wicked party that Girls Aloud were throwing for everyone involved in the tour. EVERYONE was there and it was really nice to socialise with everyone when you’re not just about to rush on to stage. My bubble burst though when we had to get back in the car at about midnight and drive to Cardiff!! It took three and a half hours so we arrived at 3.30am. I headed straight to bed. It was all worth it in the end though coz Cardiff was brilliant and so much fun!! Right now I’m back in the car which is now officially my second home 🙂 Its quite funny really. I can hear Rochelle in the front chatting away on the phone, Mollie in front of me listening to Britney, Frankie sitting next to her with her packet of sweets and Una next to me with her legs stretched out asleep!! Home sweet home!!!

I’LL BE BACKKKKKKKKK!

Love Vanessa
